When Caitlin Clark moved on to the WNBA, most people assumed that USC star JuJu Watkins, second in points last season, would become the nation’s leading scorer. But it’s not Watkins who leads women’s college basketball this year — it’s Flordia State’s Ta’Niya Latson.
Latson’s been quietly on a tear, shredding up opposing defenses without fear to the tune of 28.6 points and five rebounds a game. Her silky smooth release and impressive body control allow her to work in any space. She’s shooting 48 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range, helping Florida State become the number two scoring offense in college basketball.
What’s more, Latson’s high basketball IQ on the court has helped her recently put up a triple-double against Gonzaga on November 30th and drop back-to-back 30-point games (bringing her total to four for the season) in just ten matchups. If you’ve been sleeping on Ta’Niya Latson, you might want to start paying attention.
